less
than

It
is
amazing
that
the
disclosures
made
in
the
book
have
not
already
caused
Jar-reaching
if
percussions,
especially
in
Britain.'
The
organ
of
the
Canadian
Legion,
The
Legionary
for
October
1953,
carries
a
review
of
these
truly
.sensational
diaries.
It
is
written
by
the
noted
military
expert.
Captain
Liddell
Hart.
The
most
grave
revelation
in
Haig's
diaries
is
that
his
late
Majesty,
George
V,
seriously
violated
I
he
British
constitution
by
interfering
actively
in
political
decisions,
especially
as
they
related
to
the
high
command
end
the
general
conduct
of
World
War
1.
The
Haig
diaries
are
published
by
Eyre
Spottiswoode
of
London.
They
sell
for
25
shillings
and
are
edited
by
Robert
Blake.
The
book
is
named
"The
Private
Papers
of
Douglas
Haig,
1914-1919."
FIELD
MARSHALL
HAIG
was
a
man
of
courage,
and
great
integrity.
But
he
was
not
what
might
be
called
a
brilliant
or
farseeing
person.
Hence
it
is
doubtful
il
he
realized
the
full
gravity
of
the
revelalions
he
was
leaving
behind.
The
book
clearly
shows
that
there
was
what
the
editor
called
"A
close
alliance
between
Haig
and
the

Although
the
change
in
attitude
was
less
abrupt,
there
was
similar
failure
to
stand
behind
the
policy
of
voluntary
premiums
for
hospital
insurance.
Another
item
which
has
received
gingerly
treatment
by
its
onetime
advocates
is
the

formula
for
schools.,
How
far
can
we
go
in
-this
irresolute
manner?
The
Coalition
government
had
its
weak
points,
but
if
it
had
been
equally
timid
about
hospital
insurance,
this
fine
piece
of
legislation
would
not
be
km
the
books
today.
The
disfavor
that
this
measure
created
at
first
was
far
greater
than
anything
the
Socreds
have
encountered
so
far.
In
fact,
it
is
probable
that
the
Socreds'
own

Alberta
never
would
have
survived
if
Aberhart
and
his
associates
had
been
less
determined
to
surmount
criticism.
It
is
admirable
to
admit
mistakes,
